Center for Pastoral Education

The Center for Pastoral Education at The Jewish Theological Seminary was established in 2009 with the goal of teaching Jewish and non-Jewish seminary students, rabbis, and ordained clergy of all faiths the art of pastoral care.

Students who are interested in preparing themselves for the world of professional chaplaincy will be in an excellent position to become leaders in the field. Students who wish to become clergy or religious professionals in agencies or schools will have the in-depth pastoral training to serve the needs of their congregants, clients, and students on a very high level and with expertise in the rich pastoral resources of Judaism.
